Making WIDA Work for You!
Relax … Everything (and more) is on The Wikihttp://www.mplsesl.wikispaces.com/
Questions to be AnsweredHOW DO WE USE THE WIDA TOOLS? • What are the WIDA Proficiency Levels? • What are the WIDA Standards?• How do the MPIs work?• How do the Can-Do Descriptors relate to the
MPIs/Standards? How do the Student-Friendly Descriptors fit in?
• How can we use WIDA to differentiate instruction?• How can we use WIDA tools to monitor progress?
Why Are These Questions Important?
1. We have adopted the WIDA model.2. WIDA is a top-of-the-line instructional tool.3. Tools are best used when they are VERY familiar.4. The more complex the tool, the higher the cost
of entry…5. The gift of time…
WIDA: The Bigger Nutshell1. Language is the tool for learning!
2. LEP’s are in mainstream classrooms. (95% of the time in MPS.)
3. LEP’s use their Limited English to learn in 5 basic contexts (Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Math, Social & Amplification.)
4. Language no matter how limited is an asset to learning. You work with what you’ve got!
5. WIDA helps all teachers modify the language demands of instruction to provide LEP students with meaningful access to content.
What students can do with language BROADLY
But what does that look like at different grades? With different language domains? (Speak/Listen/ Read/Write)
Up the Triangle = A More Specific View but …we now have enough to work with….
Performance Defs informed by the

Student Friendly Can-Do’s
Two Key Roles of the ESL Teacher
English Language Development
Meaningful Access to Grade-Level Learning
Informed by Second Language Acquisition Theory • a communicative focus,
• commitment to Academic language
• intensified practice of academic speaking and listening
• opportunities to focus on FORM (i.e., grammar, correctness of language)
• systematic attention to developmentally appropriate vocabulary & grammatical structures
Informed by WIDA Standards & Tools differentiate instruction based on student
language proficiency,
match the language demands of content instruction to the student’s language abilities,
(and, ultimately) provide learners with supported opportunities to expand proficiency through challenging language tasks (speaking, listening, reading and writing) above their current levels (i+1 or ZPD)
In the service of both goals: Ongoing Progress monitoring of English Language Development

3 ½ Steps to Differentiation with WIDA
Remember language serves content learning
What students can do with language BROADLY
Illustrate what students can do at each level in context (in the content area)
What students can do with language broken down by domain (Speaking, listening, reading, writing)
WIDA—Putting it All Together
Today’s goals:
USE THE 3 ½ STEPS TO DIFFERENTIATE USING THE WIDA LENS
1. Reformat activities or aspects or steps of a lesson-sequence into MPI format
2. Determine the WIDA level3. Design an analogous learning
activity appropriate for lower levels
3 ½ . Consider levels of support/scaffolding that might be needed
Model Performance Indicators (MPIs)2007
The MPIs Consist of Two or Three* Elements:
• The language function describes how students use language - the intent of the communication
• The content stem specifies the context or topic that is addressed - a curricular kernel
• The strategy or support *
Supports
In a Nutshell
• An MPI tells us what we’re doing…they force us to clarify:– The language function: What type of language
performance will be demanded of students – The content: The actual content subject matter
you are teachings– The supports: What supports are in place and/or
what supports need to be in place
Do NOT try to make a differentiated MPI for each part of a lesson sequence
or even each objective!
Steps towards WIDA TransformationsAnalyzing a Model Lesson from a WIDA Perspective:
Sequencing in Number the Stars
• Decide on the following:– Language domains?– Language function?– Content topic?– Type of support ?– Which Can-Do levels are being served?
Characteristics for Performance Definitions
Linguistic Complexity: The amount and quality of speech or writing for a given situation
Vocabulary Usage: The specificity of words or phrases for a given context
Language Control: The comprehensibility of the communication based on the amount and type of errors

Steps towards WIDA TransformationsAnalyzing a Model Lesson from a WIDA Perspective:
Sequencing in Number the Stars
• Decide on the following:– Language domains?– Language function?– Content topic?– Type of support ?– Which levels are being served?
Try It! 1. Watch the video. 2. Structure the activity as an MPI.
• What is the language function, the content, the support?
• What level is it best suited for? How do you know?
• Use the Can-Do Descriptors to help you decide:– What support or modifications will your students
need to have some level of meaningful participation?
Your Time!• Think about lessons you teach• Think about the sequence of activities that
make up the lesson• Transform each activity into an MPI structure• Consider the WIDA level the lesson is
appropriate for• How can you modify the lesson to meet
multiple levels (or at least level 3)

Basically …• The WIDA Tools are designed to indicate what students
should be able to do in the service of grade-level learning at their proficiency level
• But we recommend also using them tool to bridge from one level to the next (as a tool for ELD)
• Can-Do Descriptors (combined with the CVC Criteria)can be the heart of progress-monitoring.
Why? • Because the Can-Do
Descriptors are essentially a Developmental Progression Learning progression
• Natural Order Hypothesis (Krashen)
